Biology Everything you wanted to know about sex... This could be an applicable title for one of the most popular general studies courses offered by the Biology Department. Human Sexual Biology is designed to help answer and explain the questions that many students are afraid to ask. This is aided by having students write their curiosities on notecards, to be discussed in the informal lab sessions. The Biology department is a catch-all, with offerings in plant, insect, animal and human lifestyles—including the environmental effects of the latter. General studies courses in environmental biology have increased in popularity with the growing awareness for ecology. Courses combine the science and the law in creating student awareness. For the serious science student, especially the major, lab courses are a must. Dissection techniques develop with lab work on worms, frogs, fetal pigs and other life forms. 8ooki-17

Medical Technology Competition--every student feels it at one time or another. In Medical Technology, though, competition has an added meaning. Every student works to be accepted by a hospital for the senior year residency There are many students, but there are few hospitals. Once in a residency program, the students work in a hospital as a resident medical technologist. Only after successful completion of this residency can a student graduate. Medical technology is a comprehensive major in the university’s Division of Allied Health program. Requirements include seven biology courses, eight chemistry courses, two math courses, two physics courses, one psychology course and at least two medical technology courses. Students study disease and infections, immunology and the structure of the blood, microbiology and parasitology. A student soon becomes familiar with laboratories and complex, technological terms.

English And forthi, who that hath an hed of verre Fro caste of stones war hym in the werrel Do you recognize that familiar saying? If you studied Chaucer this year reading Middle English would be second nature to you. One of several specialized courses offered by the English department, Chaucer involves reading, translating and writing Middle English. Other English courses specialize in Shakespeare, Milton and periods of literature and drama. This year the English department offered for the first time, English Semester. This combines four literature courses into a 12 credit semester course. This allows the student to go more in-depth in literature with less repetition than if the student took the four classes separately.
